Val Uchendu - If I Could I Would (Dirge 4:55) Lyrics

When a man cries in silence
His pain resonates beyond the wound
Fresh wound opens old wounds
I cry for you in this song
Cry for you in this song
Cry for you in this song
If I could I would
If I could dial back the time I would
If I could I would
If I could walk back the distance I would
If I could I would
If I could say goodbye I would
For now
Let me sing you this song
Been losing tears every night
Healing is a lonely road to travel alone
No winners or losers on this journey
So, I'm baring my soul in the song
And, if I miss a beat
I'm not being funny
If I miss a rhyme
I'm not being phony
Dealing with loss is not funny
I could be perfect for you on the money
I could put up a show, on the money
But I won't cause this right here ain't about money
Is about love
Is about love (For real)
So bear with me
Bear with me
I'm no Mark Anthony
But lend me your ears
If I could I would
If I could say goodbye I would
For now let me sing you this song
Lemme sing you this song
If I could I would
If I could say goodbye, I would
We left so much unsaid
So much love in our hearts
Yet my heart is broken
Just the thought of you
Rips my heart open
I miss you from sunrise to sunset and back again
Makes me wanna sing
It is so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
Yeah to your love ones
So hard
It's unreal
Yet some folks are wishing me ill
Dust off my shoulder
No regrets no regrets
No blame no shame only pain
I pray when we meet again
There will be no pain
(Mm mmh)
(No more pain)
If I could I would
I'm no Mark Anthony
But lend me your ears
Lend me your ears
If I could I would
If I could walk back the distance I would
If I could I would
If I could say goodbye I would
If I could I would (For now, lemme sing you this song)
If I could I would
If I could walk back the distance I would
So much distance between us now
If I could I would
If I could dial back the time I would (For now, lemme sing you this song)
We out of time
If I could I would
If I could say goodbye I would
For now
For now
Let me sing you this song
Kings and Queens are dying
Dad, you are my king
Gerald, you are a king
Obi, you are a king
Damn, y'all my kings
Bear with me
Bear with me
I love y'all
If I could I would
I miss ya
If I could I would
Rest in peace
If I could say goodbye I would
For now
I'll sing you this song
Let me sing you this song

When a man cries in silence
His pain resonates beyond the wound
Fresh wound opens old wounds
I cry for you in this song
Cry for you in this song
Cry for you in this song
If I could I would
If I could dial back the time I would
If I could I would
If I could walk back the distance I would
If I could I would
If I could say goodbye I would
For now
Let me sing you this song
Been losing tears every night
Healing is a lonely road to travel alone
No winners or losers on this journey
